Deaf Doorway seeks to open doors of opportunity for the Deaf around the world. Our work is global. We go where we can be useful to the Deaf community to facilitate increasing access, understanding, and levels of engagement.

Key themes for our work:

Accessibility

Deaf people need access to public information and services via sign language interpreting.

Acquisition

Deaf people have a human right to acquire and develop proficiency in sign languages.

Equal Participation

Deaf people need to have equal access to participation in personal, public and political arenas.

"Use a picture. It is worth 1000 words." - Tess Flanders, circa 1911

The old saying goes: “A picture is worth 1000 words.”

In this case, 45 pictures are worth 1,431 words.

Whether you are a hearing sign language interpreter studying for national testing, or a Deaf interpreter preparing for the Certified Deaf Interpreter exam, or simply a working interpreter who would like a firmer grasp of RID’s Code of Professional Conduct, this book will benefit you.

Many interpreters are visual learners, but unfortunately, most of the resources for training interpreters are not written with visual learners in mind. Finally, The CPC Visually offers study materials accessible to both hearing and Deaf users, providing a way to internalize the standards in a pictorial way.

This workbook format will walk you through each tenet and sub-tenet, allowing you to work alone or with a mentor, memorizing each piece of the CPC as you progress through the book. So grab your pencil and let’s get started!
